Sarah Palin Greeted Male GOP Staffers Wearing Only a Towel

Sarah Palin once greeted John McCain’s male campaign staffers wearing nothing but a towel, according to Newsweek’s Special Election Project.
According to Newsweek, at the GOP convention in St. Paul, Minnesota, Steve Schmidt and Mark Salter went to Palin’s room to brief her. After a minute, Palin came into the room with a towel wrapped around her body, and another on her wet hair.

Palin told them to chat with her husband, Todd, “I’ll just be a minute,” she said.

The Special Election Project allowed reporters to gather information on the presidential campaigns with an agreement that none of their reporting would be published until after Election Day.

Newsweek also dished that Palin spent more on shopping sprees at high-end department stores than originally reported.

“While publicly supporting Palin, McCain’s top advisers privately fumed at what they regarded as her outrageous profligacy,” Newsweek reports. “One senior aide said that Nicolle Wallace had told Palin to buy three suits for the convention and hire a stylist. But instead, the vice presidential nominee began buying for herself and her family–clothes and accessories from top stores such as Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus.”
